I just read the Celeron vs Duron smackdown. I couldn't view any of the charts but I could read the analysis and the conclusion which quite clearly states that the Duron kicks the celeron's butt and that there would be no reason to buy a Celeron 2 today. Well.. If I am not miss informed the Duron is actually selling quite poorly while the celeron is selling fine. The Duron is clearly the faster cpu, there is little doubt about that BUT.. we are talking budget cpu's here and a Celeron 2 is a VERY cheap upgrade for ppl who have a bx based system. For most ppl a biosupgrade is enough to make it work. And overall that is a MUCH cheaper upgrade than getting a Duron because then they will have to get a new mainboard too and they might also need new memory and even a new powersupply. Considering that the Duron isn't at all as attractive an upgrade.
I think Tomshardware is getting out of line here. It is pretty obvious that you are very AMD friendly and that you seem to hate Intel. Ofcourse Intel may deserve to be hated but I think you need to maintain the objectivity that you have been known for.
